" The challenge of meeting the ever-increasing data storage and access requirements of critical applications must be balanced against the cost of the storage solution. The Enterprise Strategy Group has validated and documented the savings and benefits that the VSP 5000 series can provide organizations.
Consolidation – VSP 5000 series provides the capabilities to effectively consolidate multiple current workloads as well as the headroom to support next-generation workloads.
Efficiency – VSP 5000 series provides the most capacity and performance for all workloads using storage technologies such as improved storage density, active data reduction, intelligent tiering and dynamic provisioning.
Virtualization – SVOS RF virtualization of external storage arrays provides modern data services and extends the life of existing storage arrays by increasing their available capacity, boosting performance, and knocking down storage silos.

Read this paper to learn how Dell has used its Generation 12 servers powered by Intel® Xeon® processors with direct attached storage to demonstrate that a system with 43% flash and intelligent tiering can perform as well as 100% flash for OLTP databases using Microsoft’s SQL server.

This ESG Lab report presents the results of a mixed workload performance benchmark test designed to assess the real world performance capabilities of an IBM Storwize V7000 storage system and IBM x3850 X5 servers in a VMware-enabled virtual server environment.

With the growth of unstructured data and the challenges of modern workloads such as Apache Spark™, IT teams have seen a clear need during the past few years for a new type of all-flash storage solution, one that has been designed specifically for users requiring high levels of performance in file- and object-based environments. With FlashBlade™, it addresses performance challenges in Spark environments by delivering the consistent performance of all-flash storage with no caching or tiering, as well as fast metadata operations and instant metadata queries.

On average in 2018, organizations managed 9.7 PB of data. That is a growth of 569% when compared to 1.45 PB of data in 2016. With all of this data, it's important to consider how data temperature is driving data placement decisions — and ultimately, overall storage costs. Download this infographic and see how you can use data temperature to gauge it’s worth.

The emphasis on fast flash technology concentrates much attention on hot, frequently accessed data. However, budget pressures preclude consuming such premium-priced capacity when the access frequency diminishes. Yet many organizations do just that, unable to migrate effectively to lower cost secondary storage on a regular basis.
In this white paper, explore:
• How the relative proportion of hot, warm, and cooler data changes over time
• New machine learning (ML) techniques that sense the cooling temperature of data throughout its half-life
• The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in migrating data to the most cost-effective tier.

Discover how the shift from "buy and hold" data center strategy to the next generation of HP ProLiant servers can tackle today's IT constraints and tomorrow's business opportunities in this new IDC dynamic white paper.

IT organizations everywhere are undergoing significant transformation to keep pace with the needs of their businesses. They’re tasked with
consolidating data centers and migrating both workloads and data to the cloud. The transition has been easier for some than others.
As hybrid architectures increasingly become the norm, how are enterprises gaining complete visibility, simplifying management, and making use
of all of their data—both on-premises and in the cloud?
Five enterprises explain how they’ve replaced multiple products that created legacy data silos with Cohesity – a single, hyperconverged softwaredefined
platform with native Microsoft Azure integration for simplified secondary data and applications. For them, Cohesity and Azure together
boost IT agility while lowering costs, solving critical secondary data challenges from long-term retention, storage tiering, test/dev, disaster
recovery and cloud-native backup in a proven hybrid cloud architecture.

In the real world, IT must combine hardware, software, and technologies from multiple vendors to solve business problems. 3cV is the combination of HP 3PAR Utility Storage with HP BladeSystem. Find out more in this white paper.

This ESG Lab Validation Report sponsored by HP + Intel examines a number of backup and recovery solutions and evaluates their ease of implementation as well as their ability to improve reliability and reduce costs.
